Changing characters without exiting server hangs game and machine

(1/2) > >>

webwalker:
If I switch from character to character (e.g. muling) in the usual way, by going to the character select screen then to the join screen then joining the game where my stuff is, I get a "critical stop" sound, 1/20 times I see an Unhandled Exception message, 19/20 times my machine (Win98SE) hangs hard and must be powered-off and restarted.

If I switch from character to character by exiting battle.net, re-entering battle.net (log in with password), then proceeding normally to select the new char and join the old game, so far no problem.

This is a change relative to 7.64.

This switching is between two characters that have both created games and run under 7.65.

T1001:
that problem might have all players. i have it too and post it. but its good that you are posting this too because all have the problem but only a few post it here.

webwalker:
Further testing: This crash/hang occurs with brand new characters.  It is not at all a function of the character that created the game, nor the one joining.

Also, many many times the game hangs the machine just before the point of changing video mode.
Changing video modes does not help this problem.

T1001:
this also appears with old chars. my ama is from the beginning of the ladder and my druide is from 7.65. with both chars i will have the same probs. no difference.

ChaosEmpire:
one fact..
we have less server crashes now, than before..probably a result of getting crashes on client side instead onserver side...
but i dont have any chance to say d2,whichside to crash..

but i prefer the client crashes...so any people in lab or new tristram wont get kicked out of server, when other players crashed...

but surely, i wanna now what happens...and if i find a way to fix, i will do
